After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Therefore, compared to the mediocrity and incompetence of the third prince, the second prince's reputation in the court is quite good.

When talking about this matter with Rong An, Rong An scoffed, "Mother, you only saw the appearance!"

"How to say?" Princess Jingyang didn't understand.

"Let me tell you about the people he employs," Rong An said, pointing his fingers. "The most powerful staff around him is his third uncle. This Mr. Xie San can't be said to be incompetent, but he is narrow-minded, even if he speaks inappropriately. , he will also hold grudges for a long time.

"Of course, I didn't know about this at first. Didn't Zhan Lao give me some people, and I didn't know that several of them came from Zhou Hao's side.

"It's just because I offended Master Xie San, not to mention being put on little shoes, but I can't show my ambitions.

"Zhou Hao is lucky, Mr. Xie is the head of the Xie family now, and Concubine Xie is quite smart.

"Otherwise, depending on Mr. Xie San, all his affairs will be messed up.

"If that's the case, I heard that his think tank, Shen Fanghe, will not be able to stay anymore.

"The conflict between Shen Fanghe and Master Xie San is funny to say the least.

"It turned out that the two had taken a fancy to the same oiran in a certain brothel.

"Shen Fanghe introduced him as a confidant, but Mr. Xie San just wanted to have a good time with him.

"The oiran was originally a prisoner. He studied since he was a child, and he understands some principles. He has always kept himself clean, so naturally he is more willing to choose Shen Fanghe.

"Master Xie San was so angry that he took the oiran by force, causing the oiran to fall to his death.

"Shen Fanghe argued with him, but was scolded by Mr. Xie San.

"But Zhou Hao didn't help his relatives, instead he persuaded Shen Fanghe not to 'make a fuss over a molehill' and asked Mr. Xie San to compensate Shen Fanghe for several beautiful maids.

"Before, when Shen Fanghe and Third Master Xie expressed different opinions on the same matter, Zhou Hao also mostly took the side of Third Master Xie.

"Shen Fanghe has been dissatisfied for a long time, and he has not been thinking about leaving Zhou Hao for a day or two."

Princess Jingyang asked: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Why can it be!" Rong An sneered, "Shen Fanghe has no father and no mother. He lost his wife in his early years and only has one daughter under his knees. Now his daughter lives in the Second Prince's Mansion and is a companion of the princess."

Princess Jingyang frowned slightly, "Then how did Zhou Hao get such a good reputation in the court? Almost everyone who can stand in the court hall is a genius!"

"How else can he have a capable family!" Rong An pouted, "The Xie family really spared no effort to help him.

"We all know that there are quite a lot of outstanding people in the Xie family, and their family is very united.

"The Xie family's sons often plan to be released, and the Xie family's daughters often marry low-level officials from poor families.

"Different from the Chen family, they really thank the family.

"The children of the Xie family who were sent out often chose the hometowns of high-ranking officials in the imperial court as places to be sent out.

"After taking office, he actively implemented various government orders to benefit the people, and quietly made those high-ranking officials get benefits.

"Then he put these credits on Zhou Hao, saying that he is Zhou Hao's cousin, and before he took office, how did the second prince earnestly tell him to benefit the village.

"Because the daughter of the Xie family was married at a low age, she enjoys a very high voice in her husband's family, so why is it difficult to force her husband to make a name for the second prince?
"As for the errands that the second prince was ordered to do before, Mr. Xie almost took care of them."

Princess Jingyang nodded frequently, her eyes were full of relief, she showed a loving smile and said, "Zigu, you have really grown up and matured a lot."
